migraines



Just wondering if anyone who gets sever migraines have had any luck with
Topamax.
Right now I am on a short stint of taking Prednisone to try and get me out of
'migraine mode'.
So many trials and errors. Have had migraines since I was 10 yrs old...now
I'm in my late 40's and still cursed with them.
Migraines with aura certainly can make a person wonder what in heck is going
on with them. Burnt toast, or other odd smells, vision problems and sometimes
you could draw a line down half my body, one side being pin and needles.
Holes in vision and just miserable.
Isn't life with migraines interesting? Not!!
Could live without knowing what a migraine is, but then there is always
something worse!
Just wondering about Topamax and results...any hints on how to get past the
'in the fog' when starting Topamax??
Just me
